JAMES BOND films have been around for 55 years and millennials have claimed the older ones starring Sir Sean Connery and Sir Roger Moore are offensive due to “sexism”, “racism” and 007 being a “rapist”.

In The World of James Bond historian Jeremy Black, Professor at University of Exeter said: “Bond was a very modern man for the 1950s. This was the pre-pill age, but he admires women who offer sex, femininity and masculinity. His women are independent and driven.

"He is a far more complex and interesting character in the books than in the films. In the films the Bond Girls are stunning, and with startling regularity acquiesce with a sigh of “Oh James”, which has fed 007’s reputation as an arch misogynist.”
